Introduction to 5:2 Intermittent Fasting

To fast or not to fast is the question?

News Flash: There are too many fad diets. One minute it is the Soup Diet, the next is the Banana Diet. Before you know it, it’s going to be the Air Diet! However, not all fad diets are created diet. Some may not even be….a fad. That’s where fasting comes into play.

Lets bе сlеаr. If your idеа of a good meal is a Whopper with large fries (and a Diet Coke for some odd reason) , no diet iѕ going tо hеlр you until you сhаngе your реrсерtiоn. However, it iѕ роѕѕiblе (and even helpful) tо hаvе ѕоmе leeway in whаt you еаt while on the 5:2 Diet. Surе, ѕtаrt with your healthy meals consisting of protein and veggies. But, throw in some cheat meals on occasion. Doing this solves your cravings of your favorite “bad” foods.

The 5:2 Diet is safe for most healthy people with no alarming health issues but it is not suitable for everyone. The following types of individuals should consider not doing this diet:

Anyone dealing with type 1 diabetes

Individuals who has a past history of eating disorders

People who are underweight, malnourished, or have known nutrient deficiencies

People who are sensitive to drops in blood sugar levels

Women who are trying to get pregnant or experiencing infertility

If none of those issues describe you, the best way to find out if it’s effective is to try it out. I recommend to give the 5:2 Diet at least 1 month to work its magic.
